What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Rainbow Mix Coleus (Plectranthus scutellarioides) is a delightful variety, known for its bold, variegated foliage in shades of green, yellow, pink, red, maroon, and more. It is sometimes called "Painted Leaves." Thriving in both sun and shade, this fast-growing plant is a great choice for beginners and can be grown outdoors or indoors as a houseplant. Coleus is an evergreen perennial, but if grown in outdoor settings, the tender tropical plants must be treated as an annual in any area with frost or cold temperatures.

  • Spectacular Foliage - The vibrantly colored leaves of the Rainbow Mix Coleus are lovely shades of red, orange, yellow, green, and purple. The beautiful plants add some color to shade gardens but can also thrive in the sun. They are suitable for growing in-ground or in containers, making coleus a versatile choice for your garden or indoors as houseplants.
  • Pretty Blooms - Although mainly grown for its beautiful foliage, the Rainbow Mix Coleus also produces small, blue to white flowers in late summer or early fall. These blooms give off a soft, sweet fragrance. These small flowers are useful for attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.

You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.

Are your seeds treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

In what zones can I grow your seeds?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?

Our seeds will generally last for 3-10 years if they are appropriately stored in a cool, dry place. However, we encourage you to grow your survival seeds within a year or two of purchase. This yields the best germination rates possible and also gives you more experience growing survival food now. At the end of the growing season, follow the instructions on the back of each packet for saving seeds for future gardens. These new seeds for survival will be more adapted to thrive in the growing conditions where you are.
